All due respect......Recognizing the JUGGERNAUT that MN has (or is) becoming - lets not lose sight of the fact our offense went from #1 in the NFL to bargain basement because of injuries across the offensive spectrum - and still - they just barely beat us.

I look forward to playing them (and anyone in the NFC North) with a full deck again.

As far as the Vikings getting better, we'll see when the games are played. They still have a developing QB, who could well become the second coming of Christian Ponder. Peterson is a year older, and a running game is most useful in setting up the pass. And there is the problem. Oh, and here's a link to the Vikings offensive depth from last year. http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/min/minnesota-vikings

Will they be better? Sure. Better than the Packers? Highly doubtful. We go through this angst every year, and the results seldom vary: the Packers make the playoffs, other divisional teams do well for a year or so, then fade.

With these new OL players, plus a draftee, that is what they are looking forward to again.

And that will really help Brdigewater.

He can have 5 pro bowlers in front of him. Won't change the fact that he sucks throwing the ball.

You stick to crowing about the Vikings winning the off season every year. The rest of us will stick with the team that gets it done on the field year in and year out.

Yup. Passing league. Of the top 10 passing teams last year, 3 made the playoffs. You know what those 3 teams had in common? They all held the other teams to under 20 points per game during the regular season.

Of the top 12 teams in defense in points per game, 11 made the playoffs. But it's a passing league.
